Abstract

Institutions around the world have sought to aggregate different cultural heritage data sources in order to provide society with comprehensive and useful services. This qualitative exploratory study presents a comparative analysis of two paradigmatic institutional aggregators, namely the Europeana Foundation in the European Union and the Digital Public Library of America in the United States. To that end, strategic aggregation documents were identified and quality policy elements analyzed and compared. As a result, nine quality-oriented data aggregation elements were selected: data providers; application process; metadata model; data exchange agreement; copyright license; call for applications; metadata use; technical criteria for data quality and data validation and publication. The elements identified and described are important in formulating processes that make it possible to aggregate digital cultural heritage collections from different Brazilian institutions and provide support for the solution currently being developed in collaboration with the Brazilian Institute of Museums (Ibram).
